For motorists who cross the Jalan Tamansiswa, Yogyakarta Province City, Indonesia. lately in the midst of a corona virus outbreak (Covid-19) it must have encountered an unusual sight. When passing at the fork in Jalan Tamansiswa, motorists will see the figure of a unique-looking traffic control volunteer, using a used gallon of water instead of a mask.
This unique-looking traffic regulator volunteer named Ali Akbar. With bare feet, a head covered in gallons of water, an orange vest and a small flag, this 52-year-old man is deftly managing traffic on Tamansiswa Street.
If you see the back of the gallon used, you will see the words "TOGETHER AGAINST CORONA". This article was intentionally made by Ali to remind Corona of the dangers and the importance of being together to fight Corona.
For Ali, using used gallons of water instead of masks is not without reason. In addition to medical masks difficult to find, Ali is also unsuitable for using masks made of cloth that must be washed after use.
"This reduces (the use of) masks. So it does not get anything. If you use disposable cloth then wash it. If you don't use gallons, you can wipe it off, spray it. This is routinely washed," Ali said.
The man from East Java who currently lives in the Gondolayu area, Jetis, Yogyakarta City, admitted that he has been using water gallons for the past two days to replace masks.
Ali explained that he was inspired by the medical staff who used PPE helmets, goggles and masks at the same time. From the appearance of these medical officers, Ali also made his own PPE by utilizing used gallons of water.
"If people use protective equipment, PPE. Now I better use this practical, rather than gallons of unemployment," said Ali.
Ali said that every day he earned a fortune on Jalan Tamansiswa from the time the schoolchildren left until 18.00. Before the Corona pandemic, Ali said he could bring home Rp.30,000 each time he served on the road.
"If before Corona existed, one day they could collect up to Rp30,000 or around US $ 2. If it is not up to now," Ali explained.
But when the Corona virus pandemic, which caused many residents of Yogyakarta to choose to stay at home, Ali claimed his income was much decreased. To get Rp. 30 thousand or about 2 US dollars, has not been easy since the past month.
